If you’ve never perused the website for the Institute of Noetic Sciences then now is the time. I look it up every now and again to see what kinds of funky, out-of-the-box topics they’re discussing. I absolutely love the way the Institute describes their work:
“[The Institute] conducts and sponsors leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of consciousness-including perceptions, beliefs, attention, intention, and intuition. The Institute explores phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models, while maintaining a commitment to scientific rigor…. The Institute is not a spiritual association, political-action group, or a single-cause institute. Rather, we honor open-minded approaches and multiple ways of knowing, bring discernment to our work, and support diversity of perspectives on social and scientific matters.”
What a fabulous mission-I wish all institutes, universities and every other academic/research model would follow suit.
While I was digging around on their website yesterday, I came across the “PSI Games”. Essentially, the games invite you to test your intuitive/psychic abilities. The games are also a research tool for the institute (however, if you rather, you can play the games without participating in the research). I suggest giving the “Garden of Dreams” game a try-I didn’t do so hot… perhaps I’m not as psychic as I thought… Anyway, the research being collected is pretty interesting and the games are fun. The best part is that the games invite you to wander outside of the usual concrete boundaries we often keep our minds in- what a wonderful relief 
Blessings,
